In accordance with the DMCA, Thread has a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. A "repeat infringer" is a user who has had content removed from the Service pursuant to two or more valid DMCA takedown notices.

We track DMCA notices and counter-notifications and will take appropriate action against accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright.

As a service operated from Germany, we also comply with the German Copyright Act (Urheberrechtsgesetz, UrhG) and the NetzDG. Content that infringes German copyright law will also be removed upon notification.

For copyright matters under German law, you may also contact us at contact@use-thread.com. Please indicate if your claim is under German law so we can process it accordingly.

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA and § 101 of the German Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or that material was removed or disabled by mistake may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees.
